Chess is an intellectual battle where players are exposed to numerous mental processes such as analysis, attention to detail, synthesis, concentration, planning and foresight. Psychological factors are also present on and off the board; playing Chess stimulates our imagination and creativity. Every single move a player makes is the result of a deep analysis based on the elements presented on the battle field.
Chess in its essence teaches us psychological, sociological and even moral values. In a Chess game, both players start with the same amount of material and time. The fact that the white pieces move first is considered to be practically irrelevant —especially because a player typically plays one game as white and one game as black. Consequently, the final result of the battle solely depends on each player. It doesn’t matter if you win by taking advantage of your opponent’s mistakes or by simply avoiding mistakes yourself. Truth is that Chess is an extremely individual sport and our defeats can only be blamed on ourselves and no one else. And this, in the end, only benefits us because we learn to be and feel responsible for our actions and never come up with excuses to justify ourselves.
We also learn that when it comes to our victories on the board, our opponent’s mistakes play a more significant role than our own skills. Let’s not forget that a Chess game without any mistakes would be a draw. This way, Chess provides us with another valuable life lesson: be humble at all times.

Andrew tate made me to come here
hello bhayia namast

Nope not working for me
Going to watch atleast one video a day! Looking to get back into chess. Wish me luck hahaa 🙂
Finished Lecture 1! Great way to recall the basics of the game 🙂
The easiest way that I found to set up the chess pieces is to first pick up the king and queen and place them on the d & e squares making sure the queen goes on its same color square. Then pick up both bishops one in each hand and set them down next to the king and queen (c and f). Then pick up the two knights and place them down accordingly. And finally place the rooks in the corners. Now just place the pawns on the second rank. But you can save some time and set up the board even faster by instead of picking up one piece in each hand, you pick up a piece with a pawn in each hand while doing the basic setup steps. Now instead of just putting the king and queen on their squares, you are actually placing a king down with a pawn in front of it and a queen down with a pawn in front of it. Once you start doing it this way, you'll never go back.
Are you from New Mexico and if you are which part of the 505

in our language, we call them
rook: boat
knight: horse
